Great capture! The yellow in the background is a great contrast to the dark colors of the fly. :smile:

That sure is a pretty environment for the little fly. I am wondering if you backed off the shadows a little bit if you could recover a tiny bit more detail in it's eye...seems just a hair dark to me...a small nit really.
